Amanda and I recently stayed at a Bed & Breakfast near Rochester called Springdale Farm. It was small with only two guest rooms and a single open dining/living room, but nice and reasonably priced. Since Deeva was asking about my photography yesterday, I thought I’d share a couple of my most recent photos. Nothing spectacular,…
Thanks to WNYMedia.net for putting together this video covering last night’s Dyngus Day festivities at the Terminal, and in the whole Broadway-Fillmore area. It was certainly the most “alive” that I’ve seen the East Side, well, ever! The Terminal was cold… so cold in fact that the tap lines from the beer kegs froze a…
Not going to be getting a card out by Christmas this year, we’re planning on a post-Christmas card with an address update on it. Merry Christmas to everyone!

I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
